Not cutting nails may scratch the skin, nail dystrophy or inguinitis and other hazards.
1. Scratch the skin: patients who do not cut their nails for a long time may often scratch the skin in daily life, because patients use their hands more frequently in daily work or study, so the nails will scratch the skin when they are long.
2. Nail malnutrition: If patients do not cut their nails for a long time, it may lead to over-length nails, and the distal nails may not get enough nutrient supply, and nail malnutrition will occur, and patients will have nails easy to break, nail plate breakage and other phenomena.
3. Nail groove inflammation: if patients do not cut their nails for a long time, the nails will be easily embedded in the flesh, and nail groove inflammation will occur, and the patients will have symptoms such as swelling and pain.
Patients who don’t cut their nails will experience a variety of hazards, and it is recommended that patients develop healthy habits and cut their nails on time.
